Redwood Area Hospital
| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FROM: Shelly Pauling, Education & Communications Manager
RE: Nursing Excellence Award
DATE: November 25, 2008
The Redwood Area Hospital would like to announce the latest
recipient of the Nursing Excellence Award which was recently
given to Peggy Iverson, LPN. Peggy works in the hospital caring
connections, adult day services department and has been employed
at the Redwood Area Hospital for twenty-one years.
Excellence in Nursing emerges through Peggy in her ability to
converse with any Caring Connection client making each one feel
that they are special. Her unique “way” with clients’ has a
calming effect among those who suffer from forms of dementia.
This characteristic has truly been an asset time and time again.
Additionally, Peggy has been a mentor for new staff by bringing
a sense of balance to the program. She also keeps co-workers
thinking in her ability to ask the “why” question in a
non-threatening manner. Through her ability to display empathy
for each client, Peggy exemplifies the nursing department
mission by serving with excellence, responding with compassion,
listening with attention, touching with respect and treating
with expertise.
Peggy deserves the many words of thanks that she receives from
our patients as well as a “thank you” from Redwood Area Hospital
for her display of Nursing Excellence. |
